Connemara Marble Irish Penal Rosary - One Decade Design

While the original design for this Connemara marble penal rosary resulted after Penal laws against Irish Catholics began around 1607, many Catholics continue to enjoy the convenient of the single-decade rosary. Irish Catholics needed to avoid being seen praying the rosary by their oppressors. Praying the rosary on the go is now easier with this single-decade design that resulted as a full rosary alternative. Plus, the square beads are made out of western Ireland's exquisite Connemara marble and are made in Ireland. Various shades of greens make each bead unique and they are polished to be smooth to the touch.

The rosary was given from Our Lady as a gift promoting peace, comfort, and strength in 1465 to St. Dominic. We are proud to offer this beautiful interpretation of Mother Mary's gift. Praying the rosary is a powerful experience and having one available in your pocket, purse, briefcase, or backpack can make all the difference in your day. This product makes a wonderful gift for First Communion, Easter, or other special religious occasions. Continue Our Lady's vision for peace and strength with this meaningful penal rosary in Connemara marble.
